French term

bornéo

French to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
I am translating a list of document titles; these are documents that must be written during the design stage of a vehicle. One of the items on the list is: "Envois bornéo". I'm not familiar with the term "bornéo" and I can't find it in any of my dictionaries (and the only information I can find online is about the island of Borneo).

While it is not impossible that Borneo might enter into the scheme of things in car design, I think it unlikely until proof to the contrary is given, that it is a leading player in the international automotive (design, let alone manufacturing) industry. However, if this is a customized design for a particular person, it might be a bullet and bomb-proofed car for someone like the Sultan of Brunei, maybe, and design features may need an OK (??).

Otherwise it might be the anagram for an in-company communications system, maybe??

Otherwise it might be connected with this :

C’est pourquoi AED a conçu un système peu encombrant, bas coût et prêt à l’emploi, nommé Bornéo, afin de répondre aux besoins très spécifiques des IHM [interface homme-machine] embarquées couleur.
Une solution Java clés en main
Capable de gérer une large gamme de résolution (du 128x 128 au 800x600),Bornéo est particulièrement bien adapté aux marchés des bornes interactives des équipements industriels, d’instrumentation,ou encore des systèmes mobiles ou des produits blancs ou bruns intelligents.
Bornéo est tout d’abord très simple à programmer. Il se base sur le langage Java,le plus adapté et le plus utilisé pour développer des IHM. En effet, de nombreuses interfaces graphiques de divers outils de développement, dont la plus connue est probablement Eclipse, sont développées en Java.Sa portabilité commence même à l’imposer dans les téléphones mobiles ou les cartes à puce multiapplications.

Borneo : A full solution for LCD/TFT color embedded display
Borneo is derived from our JAP solution and dedicated to embedded graphical interfaces. The object oriented Java language is specialy well suited to implement graphical interfaces. It allows to design and reuse graphical objects. Furthermore, Borneo includes a Java GUI API which is a ready-to-use embedded graphical interface with a library of predefined graphical primitives (shapes, menu, images decoders, etc.).

agree Flo in London : I agree: it's probably best to err on the side of caution here. Or perhaps you have more context that might provide a clue?
